Question

rephrase this
Given that the base length is 12 and the slant height is 18, we can calculate the surface area using the formula \(A = b^2 + 2bs\).

So, substituting the values:

\[A = 12^2 + 2(12)(18)\]
\[A = 144 + 432\]
\[A = 576\]

The surface area of the square pyramid is 576 square units.

Answer 2

With a base length of 12 and a slant height of 18, we can find the surface area by plugging the values into the formula \(A = b^2 + 2bs\).

Substituting the values:

\[A = 12^2 + 2(12)(18)\]
\[A = 144 + 432\]
\[A = 576\]

Therefore, the surface area of the square pyramid is 576 square units.

Answer 3

If the base is 12 and the slant is 18, we can find the area using the formula \(A = b^2 + 2bs\).

Plug in the numbers:

\[A = 12^2 + 2(12)(18)\]
\[A = 144 + 432\]
\[A = 576\]

The area of the square pyramid is 576 square units.
